But Trump supporters are the ones we need to worry about...



quote:

Parler CEO John Matze Jr. and his family have fled their homes after receiving death threats, a new court filing says.

quote:

The attorney, David Groesbeck, wrote in the document that Matze had to "go into hiding with his family after receiving death threats and invasive personal security breaches." The filing was part of  Parler's antitrust lawsuit against Amazon Web Services to put the platform back online.

Why didn't he scare them with a couple blasts from his shotgun?

Every public figure gets death threats from time to time, no doubt. Funny the guy who built a business around allowing that sort of thing wants to be a pussy about it now.

You really are one of the dumbest posters on this site, and that is saying something. Shouldn’t you be burning down the business of a hard working American alongside your ANTIFA friends?

Well they’ve done more than just make threats, so yeah, they are.

You're acting like this guy is some heroic fighter for free speech, but Parler is more censored than all the "left wing" sites. You just don't see it that way because they allow all the hateful shite, and it's the liberal views that aren't allowed there. It is an echo chamber by design, much more so than reddit or any other site.

What have they censored? I thought the complaint was they didn't do enough.

So far, all of the arrests were made based off of plans on Facebook and Twitter. Zero from Parler.

Liberals were almost instantly banned from Parler. It also has moderation tools that promote groupthink. It's far too quick and easy for users to mute opposing views.

Everything that conservatives hate about twitter/facebook/etc, Parler is the same thing except 10x worse and leans far right.

Nope - I didn’t do any of that. I noted your assertion that every public figure receives death threats. I called bullshite.

As for the dynamics associated with parlor,
I have no view as it is not a site I have used.

Call bullshite all you want, but it's the truth. The world is full of wackos. Some people get death threats on a daily basis. For every threat that gets publicized, I'd bet that thousands get brushed aside. Ask anyone who is even slightly noteworthy.

Did you actually see that happen, or are you quoting /r/politics?
